Wi-Fi Coming to California State Parks
The following abstract comes from Edupage, an Educause publication.
CALIFORNIA PARKS TO GO WIRELESS
Officials from California State Parks this week announced a partnership
with SBC Communications to bring Wi-Fi access to 85 of the state's
parks over the next six months. Wi-Fi access is already available in
the baseball stadium of the San Francisco Giants and in downtown San
Jose. The fist state park to have Wi-Fi access will be San Elijo State
Beach, near San Diego. Current customers of SBC will be able to access
the Wi-Fi service in the state parks for free; others will have to pay
$7.95 per day. According to a spokesperson from SBC, the revenue from
the service will be split between the company and the state. California
State Parks spokesman Roy Stearns said that access will largely be
limited to areas in and around visitors' centers and campgrounds.
Hiking trails, said Stearns, will not be part of the coverage area.
